Wherein we are joined by Rachel Castignoli for our first episode of season 2 to discuss student rights and first amendment protections for political speech and expression, particularly as it relates to the planned school walkouts organized in effort to protest the complete inaction of lawmakers to pass meaningful gun control legislation. We also explain the administrative process for requesting and representing a student in a school disciplinary hearing.
